I Let Her Lie

She'd come home, 6 am
And Tell me she'd been out with friends
And I let her lie
I let her lie

And in the glare of the morning sun
She swore I was the only one
And I let her lie
I let her lie

Cause the truth was too hard to handle
And I couldn't bare to lose that girl
We were that small town scandal but
She was my only world

One teary night she confessed her sins
And she vowed to never cheat again
And I let her lie
I let her lie

Lord, she tried, but she could not change
And I only have myself to blame
Cause I let her lie
I let her lie

Cause the truth was too hard to handle
And I couldn't bare to lose that girl
We were that small town scandal but
She was my only world

The day I left no words were said
She was sound asleep on our double bed
And I let her lie
I let her lie
I let her lie
I let her lie
